Donovan Mitchell and Anthony Edwards are in the discussion for best shooting guard in the NBA. They are going head-to-head in this Cleveland-Minnesota matchup. Mitchell is the fourth leading scorer in the league, averaging 29.8 points a game. Edwards ranks seventh, averaging 29.3 points a game. Because of these two, the Cavaliers and Timberwolves both rank in the top seven in scoring in the NBA. The Cavaliers beat the Pacers, 120-116, two days ago. Indiana scored six points above its season average against Cleveland. Mitchell was rested in that game, so he will have fresh legs. The Timberwolves have been in good offensive form. If you discount a blowout loss to the Hawks, the Timberwolves are averaging 131 points in their last four games. They rank seventh in shooting percentage and are an above-average offensive rebounding team. Take the OVER.
